Opposition: PM Viktor Orbán “has put all his chips on Russia”

Opposition politicians on Friday called on the European Union to set up a fund to offset the fallout of the energy crisis, to stack up on energy resources and take steps against “Russian blackmail”.

Momentum vice-president Márton Ilyés told an online press conference that it was not the EU or the opposition that was at fault “but Russia, which is bombing nuclear plants and bombarding children’s hospitals in a neighbouring country.

Russia and President Vladimir Putin are not reliable partners, which is causing price rises and shortages.”

He accused the Hungarian government of “scrambling” for solutions. Price caps are causing a dearth of goods, he said. Retailers who “are not ready to sell at a loss are losing their property,” he said.

Ilyés said Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “has put all his chips on Russia”. Electricity produced by the upgraded Paks nuclear plant would be “more expensive than any other technology”, he said.

Meanwhile, the gas prices Russia and Hungary agreed on in the long-term agreement signed in September are confidential, “so there is no way of knowing whether they are good or not”, he said.

“The government was caught unprepared by the energy crisis, they have no reserves, plans or reliable allies,” he said.

Jácint Horváth, a candidate of the united opposition, cited reports of faltering fuel supply at pumps, and said many petrol stations in the countryside could not serve customers.

“The failed policies of the Orbán government have led to the fuel supplies collapsing in Hungary,” he said. With that, basic services such as public transport are at risk, he said.

    The dance – Hokey Pokey plenty of re-enactment to the words of this song & dance, being WITNESSED coming out of the present Government of Hungary by its Prime Minister – Victor Orban.
    “That’s what it’s ALL about” – the Hokey Pokey.
    Extremely difficult nigh impossible – when you are head deep in relationship, as is Hungary with Russia – and seeing this Factually occuring & building over a decade in Hungary – by the Government of the Day – Fidesz Party.
    The compounding esculating problem Hungary faces, is the KNOWLEDGE that “other” powers of Europe extending beyond the EU Members and Great Britain and The United States of America and the Ukraine included, that have observed and watched over a decade – the growing of RELATIONSHIP – the need of Russia by Hungary – what DAMAGE – “scolding & deeper bruising” – or MORTAL damage – will Hungary have to be face and deal with – for it’s FUTURE – the longer this – Conflict of War continues between the Ukraine & Russia.
    The Hokey Pokey – the vinyl WILL wear out and – and what next – putting your right foot in then – take your right foot out – put your right foot in – and you SHAKE it ALL about.
    You do the Hokey Pokey and YOU turn your-self around – that’s whats it’s ALL about.
    Where does Hungary turn ???
